MW CLOSURES IN EUROPE

January 4th, 2016 --- The beginning of 2016 marked the end to various mediumwave (526.5-1606.5kHz) services in Europe. The radio services on these frequencies all transmit using amplitudemodulation, and thus these cuts are being seen as a setback for AM radio in general.

On Dec. 31 Radio France ceased its medium wave broadcasts of France Info, France Bleu and FranceBleu Elsass, Deutschlandradio silenced its seven medium wave transmitters, and RTL said goodbye toRadio Luxembourg 208 on 1440 kHz.

Both Radio France and Deutschlandradio say that dwindling medium-wave listener figures justify theirdecision, but ensure that the affected services will be available via FM, digital and Internet broadcasts.

Radio France added that the scheduled stop aims to adjust the "mode of dissemination of its broadcaststo new uses and technologies today."

Deutschland Radio’s Chris Weck pointed out that for long-wave and medium wave the broadcaster "haspaid around 12 million euros per year, with the majority of that being for electricity."

While the BBC still maintains selected medium wave broadcasts, some question how long they willcontinue. Industry specialist David Lloyd, points out in an article that "AM has had its day" and thatthese closures are to be expected with the onset of more modern technology. "Both DAB and FM soundmuch better - even though maybe they don’t quite sound like 'radio,'" he wrote.

… "In the U.K., medium wave is very popular (BBC 5 Live boasts over 10 percent of the listeners above

15 years of age). So why abandon analog medium wave broadcasts in the name of lower distributioncosts and the 'inflated' capabilities of old FM technologies and other more modern digital platforms,all attractive but expensive and limited in coverage?" she questions.

Obreja adds that analog medium wave transmitters can be digitized through DRM and that analogreceivers are plentiful and digital medium wave receivers are starting to appear. "In some countries,such as India, medium wave is currently being reassessed and given a new digital lease on life," shesaid. "AM, and especially medium wave, is one of the few real unchallenged assets of broadcasters inthe current spectrum grab mounted by other players, with DRM improving quality and reducingelectricity costs, and benefiting both urban and rural areas."(via Ben Dawson, DXLD)

Radio Panamericana on 6105 kHz seems to have become a rarely heard station since July 2015. This coincides withthe death of the founder Miguel Dueri Anton Maria on 30 July 2015 and the apparent relaunch of their website

The coloured header of the site only mentions 96.1 MHz and 580 kHz while further down the short wave frequencyis still included in a list which also mentions 106.3 MHz for the provinces. The site refers to a web stream at, which did not start when checked.

If the transmitter is broken or failing, it is unlikely that short wave will be given any investment before January 2017,because the station's licence is coming up for renewal and the station does not necessarily comply with PresidenteEvo Morales' views.(Dr. Hansjoerg Biener, 29 December 2015)

GUYANA - Jan 7 - VOG on 3290 kHz, from 0208 to 0411 UT; third consecutive day of above threshold level audio;another day of a local music show (0208-0400 UT); tentatively heard the program ID - " 'Straight from the Heart' toyou"; countless brief segments of Bryan Adams singing "Straight from the Heart," always followed by announcer inEnglish; 0227 UT finally one very faint ID - "You are listening to the Voice of Guyana".

Songs played - Kenny Rogers with "You Decorated My Life," Whitney Houston "I Will Always Love You," Bee Gees"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart," etc.; poor with QRN that sounded more like summertime static; 0401 UT seemedto be BBC news; almost readable, but not quite.

On the web found an interesting letter to the editor (Sept 22, 2010) talking about, among other things, "VOG's 'Musicto Remember', 'Soundsational' and 'Straight from the Heart' all tie for best English musical programme"; letter alsohad nice observations about listening to the radio.

3290, Voice of Guyana, at 0150-0317 UT on Jan 6. Another day of decent reception; the whole time was just one longmusic program with two announcers (many segments with them always taking during their theme music - "A SummerPlace"); songs included "Just My Imagination," "Dream Lover," "Don't Know Much About History," "When A Man LovesA Woman," etc.; unable to make out what was said (low modulation), but the music was fairly clear.(Ron Howard-CA-USA, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Jan 7)

3290 *Voice of Guyana*, at 0210-0350 UT on Jan 5. Due to outstanding propagation, had much stronger receptionthan normal; very rare for me to have such well above threshold level audio; a special reception for me! Their localprogram of all EZL pop songs in English (Michael Jackson with "The Lady In My Life," "Heal The World," "The Girlis Mine" (along with Paul McCartney), Dionne Warwick, et al. with "That's What Friends Are For," Barry Manilow with"I Made It Through The Rain," etc.); started out poor and slowly improved to close to fair. Very enjoyable to catch thisone after such a long time since I last had actual audio.(Ron Howard-CA-USA, via wwdxc BC-DX TopNews Jan 5)

A VISIT TO THE VOICE OF INDONESIA by Jawahar Almeida

In the month of September 2015, I was fortunate to be among the winners of the 2015 Wonderful Indonesia Quiz (VOIQuiz) that brought me to this beautiful country. Though I had previously visited Indonesia for the first time 25 years agoand on a couple of occasions since then, it was a memorable experience visiting the Voice of Indonesia for the second timeand experiencing their traditional hospitality once again though this time at their invitation.

This quiz is organized annually by the RRI World Service - Voice of Indonesia (VOI), the external service of the Statebroadcaster Radio Republic Indonesia, in collaboration with the Ministry Of Tourism.

The Republic of Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world consisting of five major islands and 30 smaller groups witha total of around 17,508 islands forming an arc between Asia and Australia. The archipelago is on a crossroads betweentwo oceans, the Pacific and Indian ocean and bridges two continents, Asia and Australia. This strategic position has alwaysinfluenced the cultural, social, political and economic life of the country.

The five principal islands are Sumatra; Java; Borneo, of which the 72% belonging to Indonesia is known as Kalimantan;Sulawesi, formerly called Celebes; and Irian Jaya (West Irian), the western portion of the island of New Guinea. Indonesiahas land boundaries with Malaysia (on Borneo), Papua New Guinea (on New Guinea), and East Timor (on Timor).Indonesia's capital city, Jakarta, is located on the island of Java.

The 11th of September is the anniversary date of the founding of Radio Republic Indonesia and our arrival was timed tobe in attendance for this ceremony. This year marked the 70th anniversary. The ceremony began with a traditional

23programme followed by an address by the President Director of RRI Niken Widyastuti at the campus of the main building.This was followed by a presentation of traditional arts and culture in the main auditorium and later an awards presentationceremony to the various regional stations of RRI for their impressive programming and various presentations.

The winners of VOI quiz had an audience with the President Director after a sumptuous buffet lunch.

Over lunch, we were introduced to M. Rohannudin who is the Technical Director of RRI and has worked hard to have VOIback on the air on 9625 [SIC] kHz lately.

Gifts were presented to the VOI quiz winners by Kabul Budiono who is the Director of Program And Production. IncidentallyI was meeting Budiono again after 25 years! Most of the staff whom I had met during the first visit had since retired.

RRI World Service – Voice of Indonesia is located on the 4th Floor of the RRI building and there we got to meet Lilik, Rahma,Nita, Dee, Nuke, Stefanus, Yati and Ani from the English Service. Also present were The Head of Broadcast Division BudiNugroho, Wati from the Broadcast Cooperation Section, Enny from the Chinese Service, Yubi from the French Service,Neni from the Arabic Service, Unun from the German Service, Dora from the Indonesia Service and the ever likable andresourceful Nouva from the News Division who is also a Chinese announcer. In fact all the staff was very friendly andhospitable which is a tradition in Indonesia.

The next day we were in Semarang and given a tour of RRI Semarang. It was nice to be able to visit the station that I oncelistened to on shortwave and unfortunately is now only on MW and FM. Here again we experienced excellent hospitalityof Head of RRI Semarang Arianti Astuti and the staff. We also got to be on air over Pro 1 RRI Semarang. The rest of theday in this beautiful city was spent visiting Lawang Sewu (Thousand Doors), Sam Poo Kong temple, Masjid Agung JawaTengah in Semarang.

From Semarang we drove to Solo, the home town of President Joko Widodo whose home is located on Jalan Salmett Riyadi,not far from the Hotel Paragon where we checked in. In Solo the attractions were Keraton Solo, Sangiran Museum andthen an evening drive to Solo to witness the sunset at Ratu Boko.

Tweaking on the Radio dial from Solo I could log Radio Rama on 666 kHz, Pro 1 RRI Semarang on 801 kHz, SuaraDiponegoro on 1125 kHz, Radio Sangkakala Surabaya on 1062 kHz and several FM stations. Reception within the confinesof the hotel room was very poor and so I had to make use of breaks during the guided excursion on the road.

The final leg of the tour took us to Yogyakarta which could be considered as the arts and culture hub of Java. Among theattractions are the Batik shops, puppet makers, gamelan concerts, food vendors, street arts and the nearby Temples ofBorobudur and Prambahan dating back several centuries. We were taken for a tour of Borobudur Temple and the sameevening flew back to Jakarta.

Mr. Shesar from the Ministry of tourism accompanied us throughout the tour to ensure we had a comfortable stay. Beforehe bid goodbye he handed souvenirs to the Quiz winners. Mr. Henry was the tour guide and kept us well informed andin good spirits all along.

The day before we left for home, the staff at VOI were kind enough to arrange a visit to the transmitting station of the Voiceof Indonesia located in Cimanggis on the outskirts of Jakarta.

We were welcomed by Tarto Waluyo who is the Head at the Transmitter Site. Also present was transmitter technicianSuyatno. He hosted a breakfast for us with a spread of Talas, a local root vegetable, groundnuts and cookies. Later wewere shown around the transmitter site. The transmitter is a 250 kW Marconi using a TH537 in the Final RF. Presently itis plagued with spares issues and so power is not optimum. The antenna farm consists of 4 dipole curtain arrays. No. 1beamed to Africa, No. 2 towards South Asia/Europe, No. 3 towards East Asia and No. 4 towards South America.

Indonesia is a beautiful country with a lot to see and experience. A fascinating range of civilizations have grown up on thesetropical islands, from animist tribes in remote jungle villages to the elaborate Hindu kingdoms of Bali and Java. In Indonesia,timeless temples jostle for space with golden-domed mosques and beach resorts crowded with sun-seekers and surfers. Flightsand ferries link all of the islands so you can island-hop right across the archipelago. The people are polite and hospitable.Travel and lodging is very reasonable.

For the Radio fan there are a number of stations still on Medium wave. The Stations are very friendly and responsive toQSL hunters. I have always enjoyed my visits to Indonesia and hope to return again. Most of all I shall always cherish thevisits to The Voice of Indonesia who are still on shortwave.
